I'm concerned Biden is not up to it, but that the rest of the field got suckered into chasing the Bernie votehttp://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/09/democrats-presidential-candidates-old-radical-biden-warren-bernie.html …

Because the fact that he’s moderate isn’t the reason why Biden is polling so well!

I do think many (most?) votes think in less strictly ideological terms than most pundits (of any political stripe) seem to assume they do. The large number of Biden voters whose second choice is Bernie (and vice versa) suggests that other things are going on here.

Is that really so hard to figure? Most Dems want a candidate who will fight for reform, and Booker, Klobuchar, etc. seem to be pushing for a return to the pre-Trump status quo. Biden too, but he has name recognition and is part of the Obama legacy, which makes him seem electable.

Booker is my top choice. I’m serious when I say that he’d be a contender if he had hair. He was the winner of the last debate but he looks like Michael Avenatti.pic.twitter.com/FauBFXPQPw

That is the big surprise! A year ago, I thought it would come down to Sanders v Harris

this gets to my point over the weekend. the moderate voters are also the risk averse voters and the other moderate candidates have qualities (black, black and woman, gay) that are perceived as risky

I think that's a very astute observation

1) the media itself is not paying attention to them, focusing instead on the "drama" between Biden, Warren, and Bernie. 2) Booker may be good on paper but he's still lacking that "oomph" of charisma and confidence that Dem voters seek. It's been a problem going back decades.

Booker is fine making the argument for himself. People just need to accept that Biden’s lane is where it is until he is perceived as a loser. Booker OTOH is well liked in IA and he has lots of staff on the ground. 25-30%, same as it was in 2016 (b4 he closed the door)
